Reading the wallets — MIC casefile:

• Claimant-to-platform deposit transactions on the deposit chain used by MIC.
• Operator-controlled forwarding wallets where deposits consolidate ahead of laundering or off-ramping.
• Cross-chain bridge events to chains with deeper exchange liquidity.
• Privacy-service interactions, where present in the trail.
• Off-ramp wallet — the named centralised-exchange endpoint.

Off-ramp reading — exchange counterparty for MIC:

• Endpoint counterparty in the MIC casefile is named — typically a major venue such as OKX or Bybit, sometimes Gate.io or KuCoin, occasionally Binance or Huobi when liquidity allows.
• MIC’s off-ramp wallet is then matched against compliance feeds the Professor maintains a standing read on.
• Leverage is applied to that named counterparty — the MIC packet is assembled to a standard the off-ramp’s compliance desk reads and acts on.
• If the MIC off-ramp is non-cooperative, the casefile escalates to IC3, the relevant state AG, and (where dollar value warrants) a civil-discovery overlay for KYC.

The Professor’s recovery note for MIC:

1. Casefile review on MIC — reading the submission against the no-go list.
2. Trace mapping on MIC — pathway documented to chain-of-custody standard.
3. Off-ramp naming on MIC — exchange endpoint identified.
4. Packet filing on MIC — to the named off-ramp, IC3, state AG; civil discovery overlay as applicable.
5. Documented follow-through on MIC.

What we read in a MIC casefile:

• Deposit + forwarding chains for MIC — Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tron USDT-TRC20, plus the smart-contract chains (BSC, Polygon, Avalanche, Arbitrum, Optimism) that cross via bridges.
• Off-ramps the MIC casefile may resolve to — centralised exchanges that respond to compliance filings.
• Filing pathways on MIC — IC3, state AG, off-ramp compliance, and civil-discovery overlay.

Boundaries on every MIC casefile — never crossed:

• On the MIC casefile — never request a seed phrase. Ever.
• On the MIC casefile — never request remote-access logins to a wallet or exchange.
• On the MIC casefile — never demand an upfront cash retainer to scope the matter.
• On the MIC casefile — never promise a guaranteed recovery. The trail does not promise one.
• On the MIC casefile — never call the claimant unsolicited. Written-only.
